Ideally, this issue would be a highly polarized issue (such as Israeli-Palestinian relations, just about any international military intervention, or major sports events like the Olympics or the World Cup). Ssearch the Internet for news sources that cover this event from different countries (even many non-English speaking countries produce English language Internet news sources, e.g., the Buenos Aires Herald, the Cairo Times, the East African Standard, the Japan Times, the Jerusalem Post, and the London Times).
